Tennessee Tech Geology Class!

4/30/2017

On Saturday April 29th 2017, We Welcomed 9 Tennesse Tech Students and their instructor
to the Coker Creek lease for a field exercise in Gold Panning. Many of our members turned out
to Help. The weather for the event was about perfect with sunny skies, though warmer than
normal temperatures. The best part for me was that all of the students were Tennessee Natives
who, with the guidance and instruction from our Chapter members, were all able to find a
little Tennessee gold to take home, along with a better understanding of the effort and skills
required to find gold.
Thank you to everyone who attended!
